In the T20 World Cup 2024 final match, Team India, captained by Rohit Sharma, will play South Africa at the Kensington Oval in Barbados on Saturday with the goal of ending their arduous 11-year wait for an ICC trophy.

The Men in Blue will be looking to win their first T20 World Cup since the 2007 tournament in South Africa, as well as break their winless streak without an ICC trophy since the 2013 Champions Trophy.

At the main event, all eyes will be on India’s best player, Jasprit Bumrah, who is presently playing at his best. After seven games in the competition, the Indian bowler has taken 13 wickets.

His average is merely 8.15. With the 30-year-old in excellent form, India will undoubtedly have the upper hand in the championship match.

Heinrich Klaasen, the wicketkeeper-battler for South Africa, has enabled their batting lineup to pursue lofty goals, so they will have faith in his form. Who will ultimately win the important game, however, will only become clear with time.

After putting up an incredible show in the main tournament, South Africa and India are the only teams to remain undefeated in the T20 World Cup of 2024.

But in the T20 World Cup’s history, there has never been a champion who finished the competition undefeated.

South Africa has only won 11 of their last 26 games, while the Men in Blue have won 14 of them, giving them the advantage in this encounter.

The tournament results for both teams have been very different. The team captained by Rohit Sharma has crushed every team they have played in the competition, including formidable opponents like Australia, Pakistan, and England.

On many instances, the Proteas have narrowly avoided elimination while making it to the final. In the group stage, Bangladesh and Nepal gave them a serious competition.

They almost completed their elimination in their last Super 8 match against the West Indies, who were the co-hosts, when they chased the amended 123.

The following players represent India: Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Sanju Samson, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Shivam Dube, Rohit Sharma (captain), Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (wk), Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, and Arshdeep Singh.

Quinton de Kock (WK), Reeza Hendricks, Aiden Markram (C), Kobe Bryant, Heinrich Klaasen, David Miller, Marco Jansen, Keshav Maharaj, Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje, Tabraiz Shamsi, Ottneil Baartman, Gerald Coetzee, Bjorn Fortuin, and Ryan Rickelton are the members of the South Africa squad.
